Try changing channels If you determine that you re getting a weak signal but nothing has physically changed in your office, then I recommend attempting to change channels on the access point and on one wireless client to see if a different channel improves the signal strength .

It really depends why you need to...
Are you trying to cover a wider area? In which case, a better antenna may help... or remote access points/ranger extenders at different points in your range... Or better antenna technology, such as 802.11pre-n, now available in most good toy stores...
Are you working in an older building, one with a metal frame, or cinder-block walls, or foil insulation in the walls and floors?
Repeaters, and/or pre-N networking hardware will help.
Are you struggling with interference? Try to track down the source... electrical appliances, 2.4 Ghz phone, microwave ovens, and mover either it or the router. Maybe another network in the area, using the same channel? Change channels, as far up or down the band as you can get.
If you really want to go crazy, get a router with an external antenna, and mount it up high in the building somewhere

the closer to the router you are the better.... also its best if you arn't going through walls..... direct access is definantly a plus! Get a new wireless router that gives a better signal.... or a receiver with multiple antannas

if you have an external connection using a low gain cable and antenna boost coverage significantly. If not then there are different power settings on most wireless routers/AP's (most of them are buried in the software)

Move closer to the wireless router.

get another router and put it as close as the router and make it as the "access point." for instance, if you live in the basement and the router is actually on the first floor, you can put the new router below the router. and then, you can setup your wireless card to detect that new router.

Make two profiles. So that then you could switch when the signal is bad. That's what I did.

You can always see what is interfering with your signal... ie. cordless phones, baby monitors, anything that operates in the same frequency range.....
